The Good's Gone
"The Good's Gone" is a song by English rock band the Who, written by their guitarist Pete Townshend. Initially recorded and sequenced as the third track of their debut My Generation in December 1965, it was released as the B-side to "La-La-La-Lies" in November 1966. Heavily inspired by Ray Davies song "See My Friends", Townshend wrote the track with blues in mind.
The song is notable for its unusual chord progression and ambiguous lyrics. Generally perceived as an underrated and overlooked song in the Who's catalogue, "The Good's Gone" was generally positively reviewed by critics and audiences, with many noting the guitar sound on the track, however, lead singer Roger Daltrey's vocal performance has received mixed response.
